Pros

- Nice company culture, and a high dedication to enabling work flexibility. Tends to not interfere with work-life balance (until some poorly managed project blows up). - Peers and coworkers tend to be very very nice.

Cons

- Very mediocre benefits. Consistently stripping away more and more benefits as years pass. Rewards often imbalanced for effort put into the company. - Management can be very unskilled, underqualified, and frankly outdated. Unreliable as managers and a mentors altogether. Projects (I've been through ~9 already) often fail due to lack of proper guidance. Management tends to settle on weak, unrefined solutions that cause many problems and stress later, but they do not know any better. - Lack of growth and career opportunities, since management is full of people who shoved themselves into specialized positions without a proper vision

Pros

Challenging and interesting work. The potential is there.

Cons

Management does not listen and executives are fed bad information to action on. Director and VP level folks control the narrative and make bad decision after bad decision
